AutoCAD 360 has proven to be a versatile tool that enables users to comfortably work on various design projects. Users have praised its ability to handle tasks such as creating plans, sketches, installations, and social designs. Organizations have utilized the platform to allow drafters to sync their projects online, making it effortless to compose, edit, and revise drawing files from multiple locations on different computers.
One of the main problems AutoCAD 360 solves is the need for centralized storage. By storing files online, users no longer have to rely on individual computers for file storage, providing a convenient solution for organizations. Users from a civil engineering company have found value in using AutoCAD 360 during meetings with clients to discuss and showcase progress on different aspects of a project, including architecture, structure, waterworks, and electrical installations. Additionally, the product has been employed as a testing tool to enable remote members to view drawings on mobile devices and make markups or changes on-site.
AutoCAD 360 has been instrumental in promoting collaboration between consultants working on projects by allowing them to identify and resolve discrepancies within drawings between different trades. The product has also found utility among engineers in metal framing business units and construction units for interfacing with customers, creating template files, generating construction drawings for on-site viewing, and importing/exporting select files.
Construction companies have relied on AutoCAD 360 for project coordination and sharing with other service companies. This facilitates quick coordination and review of works without the need for paper copies. Students at universities have also found AutoCAD 360 to be a valuable tool for cross-collaboration and efficient group work as it eliminates the need for manual file sharing and enables immediate review of files.
In scenarios such as construction sites where accessing and editing drawings outside of the office environment is necessary, AutoCAD mobile has been widely used. Finally, at a department level, users have utilized AutoCAD 360 to design small elements and prototype lattice structures, saving time by facilitating simple design mock-ups. Overall, users have found AutoCAD 360 to be effective in solving various design challenges and promoting collaboration among team members.
AutoCAD: Positive User Reviews Best 3D Modeling Software: Many users have praised AutoCAD as the best 3D modeling software in the market. They appreciate how it continually evolves to meet the demands of a versatile technological platform. Dynamic and Innovative Features: AutoCAD's dynamic and innovative features have received high praise from reviewers. These features allow for the development of plans and projects in various settings, including cities, fields, and both individual and group settings.

Reviews
(1-10 of 10)Access DWG on the fly!
- Viewing of DWG files on the go.
- Editing files on the go.
- Sharing edited files through different channels.
- Lite version should be available for lower end devices.
- Editing drawings is a complex and time consuming task (even simple edits).
- Finding drawings on the mobile is a hassle.
Design on the Fly
- Simple design
- Prototyping
- Teaching about design with a simple easy to use interface.
- There is a bit of a learning curve to use the software.
- The software is a bit on the expensive side with it's features.
- Many features work with additional plugins.
- 3D modeling particularly impresses me. They are the best in the market and continue evolving about this very versatile technological platform.
- Dynamic and innovative to develop plans and projects in the city, in the field, individually and in groups.
- Useful to employ and train students and teachers, as well as organizations that have to do with the design of complex structures.
- Integrate an interface as a guide or tutorial in the design.
- Provide tools with better and more updated designs.
- Allow access to downloads of images that adapt to the virtual platform.

CAD mobile app
- Download a file from my cloud storage site
- The zoom in and zoom out tool
- The cloud line type for further evaluation
- The rotation function on 3D models
- The displacement command for lines and blocks
- The lines and polines drawing command
- The select command sometimes is hard to do
- The dimensions are not so easy
- The main users are for IPad and there's no android based app
Great Cloud Drafting Platform
- Allows our entire design team to share and review information graphically in one location (cloud-based).
- Has the capability to fluidly interact with many other Autodesk software products.
- Being able to use AutoCAD 360 on the iPad is a great feature without having to install the software.
- The autoCAD commands are different on the iPad.
- The price is high.
- Does not sync to Windows folders.
A small convenience, huge timesaver!
- AutoCAD 360 allows for easy organization of any and all files that you need to see
- AutoCAD 360 acts as just one simple hub where you can share and view files, as well as communicate with others on files.
- It'd be nice to be able to use AutoCAD 360 to leave comments on peoples files, such as being able to annotate a certain part of it and mark it for review, so then its author can look at the note and make necessary changes.
AutoCad360 collaborating
- Collaborating on projects with other companies
- The ability to have all of your projects on the cloud and have easy access anywhere
- It works as extra security for all of the data stored in the cloud
- I don't find any cons because I see this as a extension of the actual autodesk software
- It may be useful to have more creation features inside to be more independent from pc softwares , maybe adding some 3d features inside of it would be awesome
- Have some editing and creation features similar to the BIM may be the next step for this
Great for Viewing DWG files remotely but editing/drawing will frustrate even seasoned ACAD users
- Real time feedback on drawings from a site.
- Real time updates on dimensions while site dimensioning.
- Faster iteration times when working on a remote location.
- Editing features are difficult to use even for seasoned ACAD users. More confusing for trades not familiar with the program.
- Drawing features are frustratingly limited and overly complicated to use. It looks like they tried to go for simplicity but in the end made it more difficult to even draw a line then it should be.
- Requires a stylus so I suggest an MS Surface device or perhaps an iPad Pro. Any other tablet does not have the resolution needed to properly use this program. Drawing or editing with your finger is pretty near impossible. Maybe it was the size of our members fingers but we were foundering until we tried with a proper device and stylus/Pen combination.
- If you use ACAD in your daily routine then AutoCAD 360 will be frustratingly limited in it's use and ability.
- Collaboration between trades because of the ability to be posted on the cloud for coordination.
- Ease of server, the cloud server is much easier to use with AutoCAD as multiple people can access it.
- I think there is a little bit of lag when synchronizing to the cloud.
- When working with files, implemented shortcuts greatly improve engineering efficiency.
- Processing Speed - Historically AutoCAD hasn't been processing models as quickly but in recent years you can see a dramatic improvement.
- Interfacing with Mobile Devices - Great mobile application which makes 3D drawings available to contractors. 2D doesn't tell the full story as would a sophisticated model.
- While the processing speed has dramatically increased, the 3D capability of the program is a bit difficult to use. It still lacks the true speed of some native 3D software.
- Relating to the above, cutting sections and elevations could provide a better output for drawings.
